Whether you're ready to don a costume and party or just looking to watch scary movies with friends, odds are you'll end up being social on Halloween. If your group doesn't have an official plan yet, consider hosting a round of drinks or snacks at your place before heading out. Even if you plan to stay in and avoid the chaos, it's not too late to get everyone over for some early evening fun.

Thanks for watching!

Here are some more Halloween party ideas to aid in your October 31st preparation:

Drink Options:

Every good hostess has a variety of beverages to offer her guests, even if it's the choice between tap water and San Pellegrino. Halloween is your chance to get wild, however, and show off your inner bartender!

Treat your friends

More power to you if trick or treating is in your plans, but let's be honest—most of you guys aren't going to be running door-to-door for candy. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't get some cute treat bags though!

One of my favorite Halloween party ideas is making these Simple DIY bags from Thirty Handmade Days. They can fit small goodies for your friends that are guaranteed to make eyes light up. Everyone loves a cute surprise!

If you're planning to go out to another party or bar afterwards, you can turn these into mini emergency kits. Fill 'em with gum, extra hair ties, lip balm, floss, etc. Your friends may laugh, but they'll thank you in the morning.

Let the games begin

You might have forgotten these old-school games, but they're just as fun (if not more) when you're an adult. Watch your friends struggle to bob for apples or eat donuts off a string. Just make sure you set these up in an area you don't mind getting a little messy.
